I will be heading to Cheung Chau to join the World’s Top 10 Quirky Local festivals named by TIME magazine tomorrow! That is - Cheung Chau Bun festival 長洲太平清醮!
Full video here: https://youtu.be/oLP_KM_ZHz0
Due to the pandemic, the most exciting parts - Bun Scrambling Competition (搶包山) and parade (Piu Sik 飄色) is cancelled. However, traditional rituals will be held as usual.
Da Jiu (打醮) is a Taoist ritual held in Cheung Chau, a small island in Hong Kong, and every year to ask for peace from Taoist deities. The island was saved from the plague after Da Jiu was performed a 100 years ago.
What is Piu Sik Parade (Floating colour parade)?
The Parade sees young children, dressed in guises of deities or modern celebrities, balanced on piles, which appeared to be floating above the crowds to appease wandering ghosts.
What is Bun Scrambling Competition?
It is a tradition that young men in the village climbed up a giant 60-feet bamboo towers covered with buns and try to grab as many buns - said to bring good luck and health – from the top.
The government banned the event after the tragedy in 1972 - two bun towers fell during the contest. The event resumed in 2005, but only 12 selected people can join the competition.
How to go?
Take a ferry from Central Pier 5 at Central

This one and only Floating Tin Hau Temple in Hong Kong, and probably in Asia, is going to retire soon.
We wanted to visit this temple 水上三角天后廟, which is dedicated to Tin Hau (the Goddess of the Sea) before it retires... We went there twice during the summer holiday in 2020 but failed to get on board, check out why 👇🏻
We went there at 12:30pm. We get on to a sampan (a small boat) at the pier next to the Causewaybay Noonday gun, that’s HKD$20 for a return trip and found that it was closed already. (Second photo)
For the second time, we called the temple in advance and went there much earlier, at 10:00pm. When the sampan was approaching the floating temple, the staff on the temple said that it was closed to public due to the pandemic. That is what we call 緣份 in Chinese... that’s fate. But at least we took some nice photos of the floating temple when we are on the Sampan. (First photo)
This Tin Hau temple was anchored in the Causeway bay Typhoon shelter since 1955 and will move to the land soon. Reason is that the cost to maintain a temple on the water is too high. The construction work of the new temple has delayed for more than a year due to the pandemic. We went to the Causewaybay typhoon shelter last week again, and found a banner on the floating temple writing “Tin Hau is moving to the land soon. Thank you for all your support.” (Fourth photo)
So where is the new temple now? It is right next to Tung Lo Wan Fire station 銅鑼灣消防局 at Causeway Bay. This temple resembles a ship, swipe to see the last photo and let us know whether you agree or not?

感謝 The Underground HK 舉辦野豬音樂節, 好耐無出show, 上到台嘅感覺真係返晒嚟, 仲要係對住中環摩天輪嘅舞台! 多謝Angus Leung幫我地記錄低🤘
希望盡快可以再同大家見面🥺
另外附上Underground網頁裏面Cyril Ma寫嘅show review, 多謝你, 我哋睇到好感動!
An Underground show is special because you get new bands, veteran bands, English bands, French bands, marching bands (we did have one) and of course good old fashioned Cantopop bands. But that’s not what Nowhere Boys is. They’re Cantopop, they use ‘old’ music (we’ll get to that), but they’re not old fashioned.
What first struck me was the violin. Standing in the corner was keyboardist Fisher Kan who decided to whip out a violin for their first song 天外飛仙 (Little Fairy). In their musical video, the band members dress up in classical Chinese outfits and do Kung-fu outside Yau Ma Tei Tin Hau temple, and rock-out next to the Star Ferry pier. They didn’t show up in costume but the whimsical, yet hardcore vibe was just as present. The violin was a little quiet, it could have been the mics, or it could have been their placement, but it would have been great to hear it more.
The second song 狂想曲 (Rhapsody) gave more surprises yet. Released in 2015 near the beginning of their career, the song is an eclectic mix of hard rock, Baroque piano, choir music, rap and more. Nowhere Boys is a band which excels in both recorded and live forms; they understand the difference between the two media and artistically transform themselves depending on what their stage is. In the Rhapsody music video, the band members don different outfits showing the many sides of the band, someone’s the Joker, someone’s a cop, they’re in an old timey Hong Kong style barbershop – then everyone changes roles. The chorale section has very strong Queen vibes and seems to reference Bohemian Rhapsody. For such a chaotic video, the performance is actually incredibly tight but not overwhelming. On stage, however, they change completely. The whole performance is a musical whirlwind. The hard rock starts, pinning you to your seat. Then the baroque piano solo comes in – in the video, it’s underscored by black and white visuals – here the whole band stops and points synchronized at the pianist to great applause. The performance is intense; they’re jumping around the stage yelling into mics but then comes the chorale. Everyone stops and sings in perfect acapella harmony despite having just run a marathon.
There’s something to be said for a Cantopop band incorporating so much classic rock, pop and classical music into their performances. Hong Kong is a city where almost everyone has a Grade 8 in musical performance, but becoming a musician is not a career most people will consider. It’s unrealistic, useless, for a hobby only. Our professional choirs and opera groups are performed in by amazing award-winning singers who are actually bankers and doctors. This means that just in terms of classical music knowledge, Hong Kong really is world class – much of local slang actually comes from musical terminology – but it’s ignored. Nowhere Boys whether they know it or not, is bridging that gap. As a rock Cantopop group, they excel perfectly with creative lyrics, great stage presence and top-notch performance, but more than that, they encompass the musical soul of Hong Kong, telling those that play classical music that the pop world does have a space for them and simultaneously letting popular music fans know that the classical side also has a place. Their creativity and performance style weren’t just for a good show, it was inspirational. At least it was to me – a classically trained musician writing rock show reviews.

This is what I recommend doing when travelling Kaohsiung!
In this episode of our Kaohsiung Adventure Vlog we explored the coastal side of Kaohsiung.
We started the morning by exploring a local Taiwanese street food market
and got some great Taiwan food breakfast.
The little breakfast street food stall can be found on the Linhai 2nd Road at the Gushan District. Here you can order local Taiwanese breakfast dishes such as omelets as well as amazing coffee with steamed milk.
After having our street food breakfast we travelled to the pier of Kaohsiung and got a ferry over to Qijin District.
This area of Kaohsiung is right beside the sea and so gives a much more coastal town vibe.
In the Qijin District there are a lot of must visit locations including:
- Kaohsiung Lighthouse
- Cihou Fort
- Cijin Tunnel
- Dr. James Laidlaw Maxwell Monument
We hiked Mount Cihou and checked out the beautiful Taiwan nature spots. This mountain hike provides amazing views of the Kaohsiung City.
This nature hike also has great historical landmarks of Kaohsiung and it is the perfect Taiwan travel location for those looking for a walking tour with beautiful views and interesting Taiwanese history.
We ended the day by walking around the nature park and soaking in the nature/coastal side of Kaohsiung.
I hope you enjoyed this Kaohsiung Adventure Vlog, if you would like to see more adventure vlogs or Taiwan travel content then please leave a like and subscribe.
Thanks for watching and I will see you in the next Kaohsiung travel guide!

Hành trình trekking 10km xuyên rừng quốc gia Cát Bà là một hành trình đầy thử thách nhưng cũng mang lại nhiều trải nghiệm thú vị ?♂️
Tư vấn du lịch Cát Bà (miễn phí): 0934.89.1988
--English below--
Bắt đầu bằng 2km đi bộ dưới tán cây của khu rừng nhiệt đới, tiếp đến là 8km liên tục leo lên những dốc cao để vượt qua 5 ngọn núi đá. Có những lúc chân tay mỏi nhừ, nhưng ở đâu đấy một cái cây cổ thụ xuất hiện, tiếng vượn hú, chim hót, hay một chú nhện to đủ sắc màu lại làm cho cả đoàn như bừng tỉnh. Thiên nhiên thực sự diệu kỳ.
Cũng có những đoạn đi bộ qua thảm thực vật tầng thấp cao ngang ngực, cũng có đoạn đi qua thảm thực vật cao hơn đầu người, lá nào lá đấy to che hết nắng... tuyến đường trekking này thực sự lôi cuốn đối với bất cứ ai yêu thiên nhiên, yêu cây cỏ.
Khi ngôi làng Việt Hải hiện ra trước mắt, vừa đúng lúc nước hết, bụng ai cũng réo liên hồi, hành trình đi bộ đã kết thúc bằng những giây phút nghỉ ngơi.
Cuối cùng cả nhóm đạp xe xuyên làng Việt Hải ra bến tàu, trở về vịnh Lan Hạ, nhảy tùm xuống biển để "refresh" (làm tươi mới) lại thân thể đã mệt nhoài sau nửa ngày leo núi.
Một trải nghiệm thú vị không thể bỏ qua khi đi du lịch Cát Bà. Cảm ơn Langur's Adventures về trải nghiệm tuyệt vời này.
Các bạn cùng đón chờ bộ phim mà team Wonderful Vietnam làm về hành trình này nhé!

The 10 km trekking tour across Cat Ba National Park was a challenge which offered experience that definitely worthed the while and the effort ?♂️
It was quite an easy start with 2 km walking under the canopy of the rain forest, followed by 8 km of continuous hiking up and down high slopes to cross over 5 rocky mountains. There were time when arms and legs were tired and heavy. Then somewhere along the route an ancient tree appeared, monkeys howling, birds singing or a large colorful spider weaving a web made the whole group awake and enthralled. Nature is truly wonderful!
We trekked through some sections of understory layer at breast height, some sections of canopy trees with leaves so big that sunlight could hardly get through. This trekking route is truly attractive to anyone who loves nature, loves the plants and animals.
After nearly 5 hours of trekking, the Viet Hai village appeared before the eyes, just when water ran out and stomaches were roaring. The hiking part of the tour ended with moments of well-earned rest and a delicious traditional local meal.
For the last legs of the tour, we took the bicycles through Viet Hai village to the pier to return to Cat Ba Town via Lan Ha Bay. On the way, we had the opportunity of jumping into the sea to "refresh" our tired body after half a day of hiking and cycling.
The tour was such an interesting experience not to be missed when traveling to Cat Ba. Many thanks to Langur's Adventures for this wonderful experience.
Let's look forward to the clip the Wonderful Vietnam team is making about this journey!

Senseap Canal is an important transportation network in Bangkok.
From Pratunam pier near Central World to Asok pier is only 11 Baht fare.
It is 19 baht even from the first place to the last place. It is very cheap.
It is used as a foot of the citizen.
However, there is no guidance of the arrival place, and it is not safe at all.
But it tastes like I feel like adventuring.
Please be careful not to drop yourself or your phone when getting on and off
